Character actors are the unsung heroes of the film industry. Everybody knows the stars, hell, we're obsessed with them. The ones who make millions per movie and have the various and sundry details of their private lives splashed on the covers of magazines.

But the working actors who create the interesting small roles, they are the ones that make the movies we love worth loving.

This week we take a look at some of our favorite character actors and talk about what makes them so memorable.
